Workers arrived on site around 5 am on 20 February
2010 to start the demolition of the right third of the Harbour Inn around 6
am, finishing around 4 pm. Work resumed on 22 February and finished the next
day. It was intended that the demolished part would be rebuilt and the whole
building would be reroofed before refurbishment as commercial premises under
the auspices of the Irvine
Bay Regeneration Company. That plan
changed and preparation for the final demolition started on 18 January 2011.
By 3 February 2011, the site was cleared.

The
Harbour Inn was known as Nicol's Bar in the 1970s and 1980s, became the Boardwalk
around 1990 and the Harbour Inn around 1995. If
